Our Universe

Our UniverseOur universe was created billions of years ago and no one is exactly sure of how. What will come of it in the future? Religions, beliefs, and scientists all have different perspectives of what will happen in the future to our earth and universe and they all have different views of how it all started. Once we know definitely how the earth was created, then we will find out most of the mysteries of the planets evolution. There are many different thoughts of what is to come of our earth and there are two major points that are debated upon when it comes to our future universe. Those would be the red and the blue shifts. The red shifts is when the universe will expand forever and the blue shift is when the universe will expand to a certain point and then start coming back in and eventually the matter will fall into a single point and there will be a "big crunch"-opposing the big bang. The universe started all at one point and will eventually all end at one point, but where?

The beginning of our universe is thought to have begun by either the big bang theory, the sun itself, from a companion star associated from the sun, or from a cloud of diffuse matter surrounding the sun. The big bang theory is that the universe expanded rapidly from the explosion of concentrated matter and energy. It has been expanding ever since. This caused a big decrease in density and temperature. The theory predicts that definite amounts of hydrogen, helium, and lithium were produced. About a million years later the earth was cool enough for atoms to form. That is when life forms began. That is said to be how the earth and most of our universe was formed.

In religious ways, people began because God created man and woman, and they reproduced to create the world as it is now. We are said to be all sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. The earth was supposed to be prefect but Adam and Eve had to disobey God and they were punished and now we all live in bad terms. That is...

Evolution of the Universe
Intro
The evolution of earth will always remain a mystery. However, there is many scenarios and evidence to help understand the evolution of earth, its sun, planets, and the moon. The paper will derscribe how the earth and its atmosphere evolved with the help of other bodies. Which includes a discription of the formation of the bodies that plays a role in the evolution of earth. Also, a discription of the earth, sun, moon, planets, and other bodies motions according to Copernicus, Kepler, and Gallileo discoveries.
Evolution: Earth and Its Atmosphere
Plate tectonics are the ultimate process that controls the changes on Earth. Dynamic activity like volcanism, meteorite impacts, mountain building, and erosion, is how our Earth has come to its current state, while the continuing motion of the Earth is what’s driving the resurfacing of the Earth resulting in faulting, basin formation, and volcanism. The combination of gravity and the Earth’s internal heat is the driving force for this continuous motion. Earth’s internal heat comes from consistent decay of radioactive elements, crystallization of the inner core, and the heat left-over from planet formation. Recent discoveries suggest that features of current Earth come from the planetary melting...

...most intellectual and renowned scientist of the world, Albert Einstein, gave his Theory of Gravitation called General Theory of Relativity in the year 1916. This theory is still considered to be an irreplaceable theory and poses challenges while learning. It is no where simplicity, it is to complex. In this theory Einstein had a problem with the static universe, his theory somethings stating that universe a whole would not remain static, gravity should play the role of attracting the things together. But, there was no such evidence and hence to cancel this Einstein had to put cosmological constant in his General Theory of Relativity.
At this time, we didnt even know that there are galaxies out there! What we know was that apart from our sun and planets, there are millions of stars everywhere and many nebula, which were considered as gaseous clouds. Even the best telescopes of the time couldnt reveal that many of the gaseous clouds were infect group of stars galaxies contains million of stars. It is very surprising to me that while formulating General Theory of Relativity, Einstein didnt knew about the structure of the universe.
Although a debate was going on among the scientists that some of the gaseous clouds are composed of stars and they themselves are altogether a separate system, galaxy only was to prove this was to actually see stars in any of the cloud, but, telescopes still were not that powerful.

...The Big Bang
In cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that describes the early development and shape of the universe.
The Big Bang Theory is the most accepted theory for the origin and evolution of ouruniverse. The big bang theory states that at some time in the distant past there was nothing. It suggests that around 10 to 14 billion years ago, the part of the universe we can see today was only a few millimetres across. According to this theory, at the beginning of time, all of the matter and energy in the universe was concentrated in a very dense state, from which it "exploded" and this is known as the Big Bang.
The Big Bang marks the instant at which the universe began. From a dense, hot ball of gas, radiation and subatomic particles. This exploded and began expanding rapidly outward. As it expanded it cooled and electrons, protons and neutrons formed. As the universe grew in size, the temperature dropped, which eventually formed huge numbers of Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium nuclei. After many millions of years the expanding universe, at first a very hot gas, thinned and cooled enough to condense into individual galaxies and then stars. Stars and galaxies began to form about one billion years following the Big Bang. It has since expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos we currently inhabit.

OurUniverse was created billions of years ago. We have no way of knowing exactly how this happened, nor how or if it will end. The creation of the universe is greatly debated religiously and scientifically. The future of ouruniverse is a popular topic, but still remains a mystery. There are many theories as to what will happen to the universe and factors to be accounted for. The fact that we do not have the ability to travel into the unknowns of the universe makes it extremely difficult to study it. If we knew how the universe was created so many unanswered mysteries would be solved. The area around the earth, the observational universe, is really the only part of the universe we have knowledge of. Subsequently, observations and conclusions have to be made from what we can see and already know.
The most well-known and believed theory of the creation of the universe is The Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang Theory suggests that the universe originated about 10 to 20 billion years ago from a huge explosion of a small volume of matter at an extremely high density and temperature. Basically, the universe began at a certain time in the past and has been expanding ever since. Evidence for The Big Bang begins with Edwin Hubble’s...

...Origins of the Universe
1.Identify the current theory of the formation of the universe.
The big bang theory.
2.Describe the Doppler effect.
The Doppler Effect is when waves moving away from you have a longer wavelength (lowpitch) and waves moving towards you have a shorter wavelength (high pitch)
3.Explain how the Doppler effect gives us information about the movement of stars andgalaxies.
Stars moving away from us are red shifted (light of longer wavelength) while stars movingtowards us are blue shifted (shorter wavelength)
4.-
5.Use a model to describe the expanding universe.
Hubble's law states the further away stars and galaxies were, the faster they were going.Thefact that most galaxies are moving away suggests that the universe is expanding.
6.Explain the big bang theory.
14 billion years ago, the universe exploded from a singularity containing a lot of concentratedenergy. The energy converted into matter and antimatter. The universe expanded relativelyslowly, then within a fraction of a second, inflated a lot bigger at a very high temperature.When a matter and antimatter particle met, they annihilated, releasing a burst of energycalled a photon. After the annihilations, a small excess of matter was left over, which thenbecame the building blocks of the universe. Three minutes later, when the universe was 1billion degrees Celsius, quarks began to...

...we have known that the universe is expanding. We have traced this expansion back in time, through to the very beginning when the universe occupied an infinitesimal point in space. This was the state of the universe at time t=0, over 13 billion years ago.
It is from this starting point that everything we are familiar with came into existence: protons, neutrons, stars, galaxies - even space and time itself are here. At time t=0, this point began an unprecedented inflation, in this instant time and space were born. This event has become known as the Big Bang.
The big bang is our current, most accepted theory for how the universe began. It was inspired by the discovery that the universe is expanding.
It was an unusual and highly counterintuitive event. It was not an explosion, it did not occur inside anything, rather, everything that we are familiar with: left, right, up, down, cause and effect, the stage for all physical laws, was getting larger.
We possess a natural curiosity of the world around us. We want to know how and why things are the way they are.
This curiousity has served us well because it carries significant survival benefits. If we see an event and ask ourselves why it happened or what caused it, we are more likely to spot a threat before it becomes dangerous in the future.
Our curiosity gives us the ability to look beyond the present moment. From...

...Age of the Universe
The age of the universe is said to be about 13.75 billion years old. The method used in determining this age would be attempting to find the age of chemical elements, oldest star clusters, as well as white dwarf stars. Scientists also try to find the universes rate of expansion, and behavior of globular clusters, which are spherical collection of stars. In order to find this, scientists can use radioactive decay to determine how old a given mixture of atoms is in rock samples. In order to find the rate of expansion of the universe, The Hubble constant was the basic cosmological model dependent on density and composition of the universe. Some formulas used by The Hubble Constant is that the earth is composed of primary matter and the age of the universe is 2/3(Ho) with Ho being The Hubble constant (1). Another formula is that the earth is said to have very little matter and the age of the universe is 1/ Ho, which is now considered to be more accurate (1).
The age of the earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old, about 9.21 years after the universe was formed. The main theory of how the earth was formed is the Big Bang Theory, or a star explosion. Some also call is a supernova. This happens in the universe when the wreckage from an explosion crashed into a cloud of gas, bringing in the ingredients for our...
